Experience the timeless charm through vintage postcards and advertisements. Step back in time to the 1930s, where The Drake Hotel stood proudly on Miami Beach's Ocean Drive at 15th Street. This oceanfront gem offered guests an excellent location, outside rooms with private baths and tub showers, a spacious lobby, and even surf bathing right from their rooms. Just a half block from the ocean was the Hotel Biarritz on Collins Avenue. With beautifully furnished rooms boasting ocean views, private baths, and telephones, this hotel provided a serene escape away from the congested district while still being centrally located. In 1904, A Corner in the Park showcased Miami's natural beauty with its lush greenery captured on a postcard. And during the early 20th century, The Elks Club became a prominent gathering place for locals in downtown Miami. Moving forward to ca. 1940, we find ourselves at the luxurious Ocean Surf Hotel directly on Miami Beach at 75th Street. Offering modern amenities such as every room having a private bath and shower along with superb locations like spacious lobbies and card rooms made this hotel an ideal choice for visitors year-round. Not only were hotels highlighted but also attractions like Fancy Florida Oranges grove that invited tourists to visit during their stay in Miami. Congress Hotel boasted an ideal location directly on Ocean Drive with beautiful furnishings in every room complete with private baths and showers. The Shoreham Hotel emerged as one of Miami Beach's newest hotels situated ideally by offering guests access to its own private bathing beach along with open-air dance floors on its patio. Health clubs and solariums added another layer of luxury to this already exceptional hotel experience. Jimmies Bar & Grill welcomed visitors warmly as they entered Miami with charcoal-broiled delights served alongside refreshing drinks at their famous establishment known throughout town.
